great video! super informative and humble. lots of ego in car maintenance and 4wd’s haha. just bought a hj60 and got super lucky with not much rust, just some exterior rust i need to fix, i don’t think i’ll need a welder as it’s not that bad.
I know this was ages ago, but I was only watching to see you tackle Yardie Creek. I'm stunned you made the call to drive all that way back in wrong direction over corrugations just to avoid that depth of water for 20 metre, makes totally zero sense to me. Worse case scenario, wait for the tide to go out, what was the rush? My Patrol weighs much more (yes SSM GVM Upgrade), just go to 8 PSI and it would have floated across. Nolan Brooke FNQ, go through that, water over the bonnet (car bra in place) it just walks it, it's all about tyre pressure and the correct tyre pressure, not 25 PSI. Salt water is so over dramatised, only vehicle I had rust appear on was our Toyota 76 series. Sons Hilux, rusted chassis radiator support, but that just Toyota's poor build quality, 2 examples here. Previous Jackaroo has had salt water over bonnet on K'gari at Eli Creek, so has Toyota, both Eli & Nygala Rocks, waves going up side window glass. Our current GU has been to K'gari many times, you'd never pick it other than ARB's paint matched bullbar, yes it's rusting in the winch cradle but I'd expect that, have zero confidence in ARB product also now. Hope I've given you some confidence to try again another time. Oh, stop driving like that, huddled over steering wheel, if you blow a tyre, but a Roo, wombat whatever you'll have absolutely zero control.
cheers from the states -- great video guys! I had the same wheel well rust on my '87. Just adds to the experience. Keep up the great work and long live the 60's.
ahh! You guys are cool! I looked at it with pleasure from the snow-covered Moscow! I also need to change the springs in my sixties! I will learn from you!
I know who you are! Your Madeline McCain, just remain carm don’t let the Turk know we’re on to him, next video come up close to the camera and mouth the words (Tapas Bar) and I’ll deploy the boys! If you see a 79series trooper with a 2 inch lift kit, Kc light bar, stainless snorkel, rolling on 38s and bead lockers you’ll know,stand tidy wildcat
We chose to not as a bit of a time and money compromise. Inside was actually in OK condition compared to outside though so everything that needed it got a few coats of etch primer.
I pulled mine out, it was ripped and I didn't salvage it; probably should have. I just ordered some 1/8 inch foam backed headliner which I'll use. I plan to weld nuts inside some of the grooves, and then make some big plastic washers of similar colour and use countersunk bolts to hold the headliner up, so the washers will be mostly flush. At the edges it will be held up as it goes into the side crevices under the roof. I will have three panels which will be removable, for the three compartments between the two roof arches. Plus some smaller panels to cover the side pieces at the top. And this also allows me to hang some things to the roof via the welded nuts which would normally be recessed, but could be sticking out by using longer bolts. It won't offer much insulation, only 1/8" so I'm not sure how loud it will be. I could always add sound deadening between if I need to since the panels will be removable. Anyways, that's one of my projects for the next few months as weather allows, we'll see how well reality matches my imaginary plans...
A bit of imagination and customisation can go a long way! One of the benefits of us reusing the old headliner is we can cut it up in future to access the gutters or hand various things. Good use of space!
Love the build on this fj62 but on the headliner insulation, I’m wondering why you didn’t use dynamat or boom mat for it? It’s cheap and you can get enough to insulate the roof, floors, doors, and quarters. Making it as quiet as a new car almost.
Honestly, dynamat probably would have been better but we couldn’t be bothered removing all the old fluff residue still stuck to the roof, and had this leftover from the floor. We have got some dynamat for the rest of the interior.
Nice work, as a side note for anyone doing this i was told by a upholsterer to transfer the bows from the old liner to same position on the new liner apparently makes a difference
The infamous headliner that ever 60 owner on the forums bang on being the boogeyman , you both literally showed everyone it’s not that scary of a job! Awesome job
great video. as a 60 owner. been watching from the start. much respect. i thought this thing was way gone and crazy big driveway built. but all coming together now. great work.
@@NextStopTouringMine started with the factory horrendous beige, tried painting with that VHT trim paint, wasn't happy, then covered the entire thing in a decent quality black speaker felt, with high temp spray adhesive. Since doing mine, I've helped two mates, de-biege their interiors.
the only reason your car may have been quicker is because the air system was leaking boost with the previous broken intercooler. if oil can get out, air can get it. it has nothing to do with the brand of intercooler itself
Thank you! This video was mostly shot on a Sony a7c with a 28-60mm 4-5.6 lens. Though some footage was just shot on iphones. The camera does have a light coat of white paint specks now 😂
